not really comparing, just seeing what other larger engine cars are like for petrol

will have to get that new exhaust on and go out for a good drive

Well my 306 is worse on fuel than my Clio was, but its better than my Civic was, all 3 are 2.0s

 

[billy182]

my previous motor was a 306 xsi 2.0 8 valve not too bad on petrol but my 172 is a lot better 36mpg on the trip comp at the mo.

I just got 39mpg on a steady 200 mile round trip to Silverstone on mostly motorways. Weekly town driving is around 32mpg.

 

[Lee]

Thats good going in a GTi-6.

Ive done Silverstone and back the last two days. Yesterday I got 32mpg with A5 there M40 back, at speed! Today I took the A5 there and back but the weather was shocking coming back so I took it easy which knocked the average up to over 35mpg.

 

[Spammy]

God knows how you all get 35 odd mpg out of them! My 1.2 only gets about 35!

 

[lawrence]

wtf i get on average 21-25mpg, if i do mways then 30 tops, £20 gives me roughly 150 miles

 

[Mike@Rentech]

I get an average of 28 round town, did see 40 on the the trip to FCS, but was driving like an old man

Oh and 18 mpg on the track hehe!!!

hehehe yeah i know but can never resist dropping into 3rd or 4th to overtake then i just sit at silly speeds, i always try to set off and stay at 70 but never happens

Its that 5th to 3rd overtaking that does it. I did a lot of that this morning on the short duel carriageways on the A5 from Cannock to Silverstone. Had to show those f*****g BMW drivers who kept trying to get a jump on me who has the quicker car (up to 70mph of course).

You will get different answers depending on the way people drive. I do 52 miles a day averaging about 34 mpg and I have to put £20 in every 4 days.

My daily commute is a mixture of Motorway and A road with a bit of City driving thrown in.


Exactly the same

Averaging 34mpg, mostly A road dual carrageway with a bit of motorway and town driving.

[CUPPER]

Petrol prices suck these days!!!!! what happens when it goes to £1 a litre?? All the boards only go up to 99.99p thats ninety nine point nine nine pence per litre!
Anyways my 2 litre clio returns about 32-34 mpg not bad considering my gf 1.2 only returns about 38 mpg.

[The Bear]

I get about 36mpg. Fill-up costs between £32-£35 and lasts me anywhere from 300-350 miles depending how much I thrash it.

Most of my mileage is a regular 36 mile round trip to and from work which is all A-roads.

 

[hodstar]

Just got my 182 back last week after 6 weeks in bodyshop. Missed it, thrashed it,ave 26mpg

 

[Christopher]

My average is around 27-28mpg
